    The loss of a soul dog is something that is so tough to bounce back from. You spend years upon years devoting all your love and attention to this sweet soulful creature and one day they are gone and you are left to pick up the pieces. But as this story goes to show, you never know when all that love might come back to light up your life one more time.

    Reddit's r/Paranormal subreddit is not the first place that many people would expect to find a heartwarming, heck, overwhelmingly emotional dog story like the one we have lined up today. But that is what happened thanks to the pupper pawrent who bravely shared her tale. Her story begins with the tragic loss of her soul dog, an event which impacted her deeply affecting all parts of her life. As days turned into weeks and months it felt as though the weight on her chest, the pain from losing the soul that was closest to her, would never lift.

    But one fateful night her soul dog came to her in a dream. This is the pivotal moment of the story, the moment our pawrent realized that her canine child was still looking out for her and understood that it had to step in and remind his pawrent that he deeply loves her and wishes he could still be with her. But also, that hope was around the corner. That hope would come in the form of a new pupper. And while that dream did a lot to calm our pawrent protagonist, giving her closure and some respite from the weight she had been feeling. It was nothing compared to the emotional satiation that was headed her way in the near future. This is a tale of hope for all your pawrents who have had puppers cross the rainbow bridge, they are there, they are watching and they still love you.

    • Oh goodness gracious someone please go and get the tissues this is getting far more emotional than what we were prepawed for this to be. It is so hard losing your best friend no matter what species of animal they might be. You toss and turn day and night thinking about what you missed along the way and what a wonder it would be to spend even a few more minutes with them. So for this to happen in her dream, it’s just so heartwarming, so healing, so overwhelming. Usually you don’t know you;ll be seeing someone for the last time before they pass, so this pawrent got that one last time.

    • Just how? How is this real? Anyone who has lost a pupper knows just how much this means, how impactful it is to have this kind of connection and moment with your loved one. And for it to be an otherworldly interaction that comes to show you that you are in the darkest part and that dawn is soon coming your way, and in the form of a new doggo that your soul dog has sent to you. It's just so overwhelming. We can truly say that this pawrent loved their pupper to the moon and back if not far more for this kind of a heartwarming event to happen.
